Susan Pevensie's Green Archery Dress


I fell in love with this dress Susan wears the first time I saw The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I had a lot of fun making a replica of this dress!



Here are some pictures from the film:

Emma Meets Frank Churchill Dress

This cheery yellow dress Gwyneth Paltrow wears in the film "Emma" always inspired me. I finally made a version. :)

Here are some pictures from the film:
A View of the Back:
The darling little sleeve drawn up with a posie:

My version:

My sleeve isn't drawn up as much as hers...but I still like it. :)
